Text: We will follow the text How to Meditate by Lama Samten, which is a separate $20 purchase if you do not already own it
Logistics: This is an urban retreat, with no lodging. Snacks and drinks will be provided, but plan to bring your lunch for Sunday’s mid-day meal
Suggested prerequisite: Calm Abiding and Introduction to Lamrim classes, or several years of experience with Buddhist philosophy and concentration meditation
The opportunity: Approximately 2600 years ago, the historical Buddha attained enlightenment, finding after a long search the way to end suffering and find true happiness. His great gift was to teach the path to this same happiness. During this workshop, we will give an overview of the two main kinds of meditation: concentration meditation, in which we learn to focus the mind and calm distractions in order to achieve Calm Abiding, and analytical meditation, where we turn our focus to understanding the fundamental nature of self and the world around us in order to achieve Special Insight. The retreat will include teachings and practice.
